"No Pennsylvania governor in modern history has served three terms. The first three governors of Pennsylvania served three consecutive terms. Later, two governors, Gifford Pinchot and Robert Pattison served non-consecutive single terms.

Rendell has always dismissed the notion of running again, for anything. When asked if he would seek a U.S. Senate or House seat, Rendell flatly said he had no interest in being part of a governing body, he was a CEO through and through.

Then on Sunday NPR host Linda Wertheimer speaking to Rendell about the upcoming Democratic National Convention asked him whether he would like to be running the show as he did as chairman of the DNC in 2000.

WERTHEIMER: So, is there any part of you that actually would like to be running the show, as you did in - was it Los Angeles in 2000, right?

RENDELL: Pretty much every waking moment and sometimes in my dreams, yeah, absolutely. The toughest thing for me is I've run things for so long. I've been a chief executive in politics for about 33, 34 years. And now I'm enjoying my life but I don't feel like I'm running anything or really doing any substantive to get things done, to get people to work, to improve our kids' educations. So, after doing what I've done for so long, it's hard and you do miss it."
